Sennheiser PC37X randomly goes bad after disconnecting the cable ?
Greetings, Yesterday I was using my headset like normal with my macbook, just listening to music and on a call with people like usual, and the headset was perfectly fine. The stock wire that came with the headset is extremely long and yesterday it annoyed me very much that it kept getting tangled with itself, so I decided to see if the cable is replaceable. I pulled out the cable from the headset and saw the adapter, and looked online for a replacement. Upon plugging it back in, the audio sounded extremely muffled and washed out. Im not sure what I did wrong to make it mess up like that as I've always taken good care of it, ive had it for about 2 years and its always just been chilling on my desk, but anywho I thought the cable just went bad and ordered a replacement. The replacement came, and the issue is still persistant, so I am not sure what the issue is I've tried multiple different headsets and the issue is not with the port, and I also tried it with my windows laptop and...

Good news is the pads on the 7506 are replaceable. I know you said you wear a hardhat all day, and that comfort isn't your first priority, but... I'm also a hardhat wearer, but the cartilage in my right ear is all torn up, so comfort's more an issue of jabbing pain than mild irritation. You can swap out the pads on the 7506 for thicker ones and run all day without feeling them.
Another one that would probably set any audiophile's teeth on edge is the Senal SMH-1000. It's basically a clone of the Sonys (same drivers, I'm pretty sure) and even takes the same after-market ear pads, but also offers a removable cord. If you travel this may be something you'd want. (It's what I keep in my field recording bag.) The frequency response is pretty darned flat, so it won't win any awards for making music sound sparkly, but it does give you an accurate rendition of the sound you're working with. These run right around the $100USD mark, too.
